Tag Archives: Tiger Lillies

Lulu, a sexually-enticing young dancer who rises in German society through her relationships with wealthy men, but who later falls into poverty and prostitution, as depicted in Erdgeist (Earth Spirit, 1895) and Die Büchse der Pandora (Pandora’s Box, 1904) by Frank Wedekind, has been transformed into a musical macabre stage show by the Tiger Lillies.

Anyone who is aware of the Tiger Lillies work will know that this is a common theme for Martin Jacques to turn his attention too, and by all accounts the perfomance is amazing. I can’t wait until it come to London.

Baby is just a millionaire
He’s ‘orrible and unkind
Baby is just a millionaire
and he will rob you blindAnd he’ll have you on Monday
He’ll have you on Tuesday
He’ll have you on Wednesday as well

Baby is just a millionaire
He’s got gold taps on his bathroom suite
Baby is just a millionaire
He’s ‘orrible and he’s neat
And he’ll have you on Thursday
He’ll have you on Friday
Saturday and Sunday as well

Baby is just a millionaire
Didn’t Baby do well
Baby is just a millionaire
And Baby is going to Hell
Yeah, Baby is going to Hell
Baby is going to Hell

As I love music so much (see my twitter feeds for the songs I play) I thought I would set myself a challenge for the week and see if I can find a song relating to a pertinent story each day. Today’s dedication is to Fred Goodwin, a song he can listen to to console himself after losing his knighthood. Don’t worry Fred you now have things in common with Mugabe and Ceausescu! Anyway here are the lyrics to a song to cheer you up, just replace the word baby with Fred.:
